JAKARTA - Jember State University communicator Mohammad Iqbal made a surprising statement regarding potential candidates who are predicted to run in the 2024 presidential election. According to him, Prabowo Subianto is more suitable to be a king maker, although in some surveys his electability is quite promising.

"As a King Maker, he has been very successful. Jokowi being able to become president cannot be separated from his cold hands, joining Jokowi to become the Governor of Jakarta. Also Anies Baswedan who has the potential to become president. This also cannot be separated from Prabowo's cold hands," he explained in an electronic message received journalists, Monday, June 27.

Meanwhile, according to Salemba School communicator Effendi Gazali, if you look at the 2019 presidential election, Prabowo's percentage of votes cannot be separated from the influence of Sandiaga Uno as a vice presidential candidate.

"What percentage of the numbers did Prabowo-Sandi get in the 2019 presidential election? Of course, it's both numbers, and there are also respective numbers. But why is it now going down? The biggest possibility is because they are considered to have left their constituents, although of course there could also be the possibility of additional fans. But objectively indeed the trend is down," explained Effendi.

Suko Widodo added that every candidate for leader has his own time. "Prabowo's opportunity was in 2014 and 2019. Now the competitors are young people with achievements in leading the province. Prabowo's chances are getting smaller," said Suko.

Meanwhile, Pelita Harapan communicator, Emrus Sihombing, analyzed that the decline in Prabowo's number could increase because of the emergence of the name General Andika.

"For the largest voters, millennials, now there is an alternative choice, if you want a civil-military combination. And General Andika seems to be able to go anywhere. You can go to Nasdem, you can go to PDIP too," Emrus added.

Hasrullah, a communicator at Hasanuddin University, also agreed that Prabowo should become the King Maker. He suggested, "When playing the role of King Maker, hopefully Prabowo will consider candidates from the Eastern Indonesia Region. It is already a captive-market to get voters."
